Sad news

This is to inform you all that Mr. Kamal Kapoor passed away during the early hours of Monday morning (August 2). He passed away peacefully and did not suffer.He will be missed ....and his memories cherished by all of us, his grand children: Suraj, Niraj, Srishti, Goldie, Tania, Lushoo, Shraddha, Karan, Sameer & Simran...

I have just read about Kamalji's death from other website 'Memsahebstory'.He was one of the versatile actor in his days,even with small roles he would leave a great impression.I have allways liked him to see in Police inspector's role.May his soul rest in peace.

Very sorry to know about his demise..I loved his performance in Don..very charismatic and very powerful..Extremely good looking and handsome actor!! RIP Kamal saab..those who love cinema will always remember you!!
